An Irishman, Francis Haz.ett, has in.
vented, and an Irish company has brought
out. mechanical apparatus for blowing
glass bottles which dispenses with the
old.fashioned method Of blowing glass by
the mouth. Hitherto it has been con.
sidered impossible to improve upon the
human lungs. and so the glass blowers Of
the world have gone on putting them
selves away at AZ years Of age, which is
the low average Of life among these hand
icraftsmen. The new invention dispenses
with the human lungs and injects the air
into the molten glass by an air pump not
unlike an ordinary syringe in shape and
action. This is fastened to the ordinary
blow.pipe and makes little difference to
the workman in handling.

the workman is worthy of his support"
He intended that they who heard them
should support them, afterwards Christ
said uuto them, when sent you out
without purse and scrip Lacked
we any thing? and they said, nothing"
Itappears they were not only supp 'rted
but ,ucH supported. They "lack'd moth
ing" this language is so forcible and
energetic, it completely overturns the
free gospel theory by establishing the
converse proposition. The minister's life
is one of sacrifice and anxiety, all the
night and day. Surely you would not
deny them if you were able, the paltry
sum paid to them, knowing that their
life is one continual day of hard, ear
nest and faithful work.
Wherever we have a remunerated
ministry, and lay agency recognized,
Gods truth and gospel prospers. Take
for instance the Independent Metho-
dists, they reject remunerated minis
try, they have never presrered, many
Of their Societies are dead and others
are ready to die. The Society of Friends
reject paid ministry, bat they make
40 progress, except by natural issue,
their children being constituted MEM
bers by the laws Of their community.
The Episcopal Church rejected lay
agency is feeble in all aggressive work.
The Presbyterians and Baptists have q
remurerated ministry employing to
some extent lay agency, are a power in
this country for good. A little more
than century ago the M. E. Church
had no existence in this country, with
q remunerated ministry and an extern
sive lay agency, her power is felt the
world over with her two millions of
members, and various agenci betting
the world. You evidently understand
by this that the ministry does not re-
gard any single day in which they
make their living, because in the lex
icon of their life no such word is found.
Yours Respectfully,

SWindlers.

Sharpers are travelling in various
parts of New Jersey soliciting farm
ers to place their sign atures to a
pledge not to destroy any song birds.
The signatures are subsequently ad-
ded to promissory notes, which by
some means get into the banks,
which enforce payment from the
farmers. 1t strikes US that banks
ought to exercise considerable care
in discounting such paper. The bank
officers generally can form a pretty
correct idea of how the raper origi-
mated. But a big discount you know,
is trying on the eyes.

The Public Schools.

Superintendent Squire has publish
ed a statement of the annual report
of the Public schools which the NeaUs
saves us the trouble Of making a
synopsis Of, by utalizing the News
mans labor.
Ar abstract of the abstnact ls about as
follows: There are ninety schools, one hun
dred and twenty teachers. and an average
attendance of three thousand pupils in the
public schools Of the cou ty. The fund
proviled to run these schools for the school
wear of 1856 was little over fortv-six
thousand dollars, of which thirty three
thousand went for teachers salaries, and
seventeen hundred for new school buildings.
The rest was taken up in expenses for books,
fuel, etc.
The county levy for the public schools in
1885 was TWENTY-FIVE thousand dollars.
This sum with the State tax, free school
fund and book fees, proved sufficient to run
the schools three and one-half terms or I'M
til the last of May.
In order that the schools should run
their proper time, that is four full terms,
this wear. the County Commissioners in ad-
dtion to the regular levy Of twenty-five
thousand dc liars, made an additional levy
of twelve thousand dollars for.new school
honses, etc., it being believed that with
that item of expense fully provided for, the
School Commissioners would be able to run
the schools the four terms. Now the point
emphasized here is simply thfs-that the
County Commissioners intended that the
schools should be kept*open the full time,
and since the fund provided has proved in
sufficient. that the School Commissions RS
should now borrow the amount needed to
carry out the purprse. We freely state
here that we believe the general manage
ment and expenditure of the school fund by
the School Commissioners to be prudent,
conscientious ard wise.
The attar clause of the above is
not report" but the editorial com
ment, with which we agree mainly,
except the last word "wise." If
$4,000 was granted for building
school houses, with the understand
ing on the part of the County Com
missioners that the money levied for
keeping the schools open the fourth
term wa sufficient, there is a twenty.
five per cent mlscal ecu alton that will
badly pass for wisdom. How could
they make such wide mistake?

heard Of to pay by them afterwards
At the suit ''brother" Barriger plead
that the note was considered by him
in lieu of salary for has services in
preaching the gospel. Turn and twist

to be no free gospel for the much

Comply With the Law.

The railroads heretofore have re-
turned packages used by market
men free of charge from the cities to
the place of shipment, but in order to
"comply'' with the new law OF
congress they are obliged to charge
freight on the return. What a bless
hng that law is in disguise to the
railroads. 1t not only compels them
to raise freights and fares but makes
more of them. And how odd it was
to find these magnanimous souls
kicking so hard against the passage
of the law; all because they so hate
to nave the public pay 80 much
freight and fare! 1t is great shame
to compel them to charge so much
